About the building
50 First Place occupies the southeast corner of First Place and Clinton Street, with a brownstone façade and the deep front setback characteristic of Carroll Gardens' Place blocks. The property was acquired for condominium conversion in 2017, and sales launched in 2019. Five residences share the converted house. The corner position gives the apartments three exposures, while a separate garage occupies the rear of the property.
The homes include three-bedroom floor-through layouts, a garden duplex with a private yard, and an upper penthouse. A keyed elevator opens into the residences, and private outdoor areas supplement the interior living space. The conversion introduced central air conditioning and remote entry service while retaining exposed masonry in parts of the interiors. Basement storage is allocated to the homes. The garage has room for two vehicles, with electric charging equipment; it is separately deeded from the apartments.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00361-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

What to know if you’re buying
The elevator and remote entry system give this five-home association equipment to maintain beyond the usual brownstone roof and masonry. Garage ownership is separate, so parking is not automatically included with an apartment. Shared operating decisions and major repairs fall to a small ownership group.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
